Whats cooking tonight

[windfaerie 41]

My surgery is in 2 days and tomorrow is Clear liquids only. Tonight I am making dinner for myself and family and it is so weird. I keep wondering how strange it will be after this when either for a couple months I will not be able to have anything they are having or even after just a few bites of what they are having. I wonder if my cooking will suffer because I can not taste as much. I wonder if I will forget to feed kids because I am concentrating on Protein, mushy stuff, Water intake and not hungry.

But tonight is dinner as usual as we all sit down at the table as a family like we do every other night. Tonight I will be having 3 ounces of mediterranean spice turkey tenderloins, 1 cup of roasted herb parmesan acorn squash and 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar and apple cider glazed brussel sprouts. Tonight dinner will be yummy.

Tonight I am sticking with the plan and having what I am allowed to have.

Tommorow is the start of a new adventure, a new way of living and eating and a new me.

Blerg....tonight I burnt the brussel sprouts because I was writing this.

You'll do great!!! And I'm thinking my family is going to eat healthier WITH me!!! So once I'm done w all the phasing I'll be able to eat exactly what they're eating and vise versa!!!

We can do it!!!

I was just worried about remembering to cook and shop is all. I am not worried about when on solids. Just all the liquid and mushy stuff. It does not appear to be a problem though.

I have been home 3 full days.

I am boiling a chicken to make a pot of chicken Soup for dinner tonight. So I can have some too. broth only of course.

They had sandwiches and an apple for lunch and I was able to make Breakfast this morning so they had eggs with mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, turkey bacon and some homemade salsa.

Happy kids and hubby.
